I had a powerful conversation with my counselor Eleanor a while back about insecurity. She said to me, “Mike when you’re feeling insecure, it’s important to understand which aspect of yourself is feeling insecure. The child within you is asking, ‘Am I getting enough?’ The adolescent within you is asking, ‘Am I good enough?’ And, the young adult within you is asking, ‘Am I doing enough?’ Your insecurity often comes from one of these three places – erroneously thinking that you’re not enough.” Eleanor then said, “However, the wisest part of you, the ‘spiritual adult’ within you, answers these three questions by simply saying, ‘Yes!'”
In this week’s video blog, I explore these three questions and how we can let go of our thoughts and feelings of not getting enough, being good enough, or doing enough… ultimately remembering that we are enough just as we are right now!
Feel free to share your thoughts, insights, or questions about this with me and others on my blog.
Got some tingles up my spine as I visited all three questions/places. Great practical reality check! Thank you.
Hmmm very well said. Although sometimes are inner critic isn’t so trusting.
I wish I could tell myself every day that I am enough and that I don’t need validation…but I have a hard time believing it.
I just comes from being in a not so supportive and encouraging childhood.
I was always questioned.
Anyways, being in my mid 20’s, I hope that I am able to gain that self love and feel ENOUGH soon 🙂
Your videos and book help!
Hi Mike; its cool knowing that I’m not the only one who wonders about this. I am always thinking about asking if wondering what else i could do. I was feeling a bit run down over the weekend and decided to tai a couple days off and not push so hard. I got my energy back and wrote an excellent blog post for my site. and I’d love to help promote your book launch when it gets here. do you know if it is being recorded for the blind? thanks for sharing with us and helping to motivate us. Take care, Max
